Thus, the sour got a big boost for places that could get citrus that was fresh!īartenders were looking for something to put in their drinks to keep them interesting. Sounds so complicated, right?! But really, so simple!īasically, in the 19th century, railroads were built, thus transporting out-of-season citrus more widely, and refrigeration with ice became more common. The drink was then strained into a claret glass and garnished with berries. The recipe called for 1 large teaspoon of powdered sugar dissolved in a little seltzer water, the juice of half a small lemon, and 1 wine glass of bourbon or rye, shaken. In 1862, the recipe for a Whisky Sour was in Jerry Thomas’s The Bartender’s Guide. This cocktail is sour obviously, but with a great whiskey and the simple syrup, a wonderful balance of flavors is combined! Whiskey sours are a favorite of ours, as they are easy to make and are so easy to customize. So, we teamed up with Brickway Distillery to make a few cocktails for the event! Then, we made the Blueberry Smash for a VIP speakeasy night, as well as this sour for the event itself.
